About me
Hello, I'm Julia Scott
I'm a registered dietitian, mum of two, host of the Little Bites podcast, and creator of the Starting Solids course. I support families across New Zealand with clear, practical and evidence-based nutrition advice.
Whether you're pregnant and not sure what to eat (or what to avoid), starting solids and feeling overwhelmed by all the opinions out there, managing a picky toddler who only eats toast, or trying to simplify healthy eating for your whole family, I'm here to help.

I'm pregnant
What to eat, what to avoid, and how to feel good about your choices through every trimester.
Pregnancy nutrition →We're starting solids
When to start, what to offer first, allergens, gagging and everything in between.
Baby nutrition and starting solids →My toddler is fussy
Food refusal, beige-only phases and mealtime battles. Normal, and there is plenty we can do.
Toddler and preschooler nutrition →It's for me or my family
Energy, gut health, balanced habits, or a condition like diabetes, high cholesterol or IBS.
Private dietitian consults →Online course
Starting Solids
A 12-part video series that walks you through when and how to begin, what to offer, and how to set up healthy habits that last. Based on the latest Ministry of Health NZ guidelines.
